Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto then I wouldn't be here, I'd be else where partying. BUT I own my OC and my Dragon Knight volumes I bought last year! :D

Sol: *sweat drop* Great disclaimer there.

Raingirl: shut-up my throat hurts, on with the story.

-Hidan appears-

Sol: No need we're starting.

Hidan: SHIT! I had a good line.

Sol: maybe at the end or next time.


Itachi and Konan came back only minutes after the two boys bolted to as not to get in trouble because of the door. Itachi was just analyzing her with his red eyes then blinked. The silence seemed deafening and Sol was about to lose it with her nerves when Itachi finally said something.

"It's going quicker now." Then the nin just disappeared.

"Well that's good." Konan said, "Fire really didn't work and we were…hey are you ok?" Konan asked once she saw Sol's face blank out.


There was open grassy plain in a clearing through rows of trees that has clustered to make a forest. The wind whistled a tune that was familiar as it caused the grass to dance. There was a child standing in the middle wearing a small blue sundress with a straw hat to match. The sky was bright blue and the sun was shone down, creating shadows in the trees.

That small child was laughing. It was strange since she was all alone and seemed to be talking with someone. Then the scene changed.

It was the foggy forest again but the song was the same;

'Shine bright morning light

Now in the air the spring is coming

Sweet blowing wind

Singing down the hills and valleys

Keep your eyes on me'

She turned to the path where the fog swirled to yet again see the shadow child that was skipping. You could tell since they seemed to bounce as they moved toward her.


When Sol came to later on she had a headache but also memories of such strange things. Konan hovered above her asking if she was alright, that she suddenly blanked out and had this look on her face.

"Sorry Konan but I have to tell you something."

Konan was surprised at what she had just been told. She then left to tell Pain. Once gone Sol smiled slightly, she used to be a ninja and the memory she had were of jutsus. It was an array of different kinds that just flew back into her head but something bothered her, something at the edge that kept gnawing at her mind yet unable to attain. It was irritating to say the least.

It seemed as if she'd never get better and the dream she had was rather difficult to explain into words. In truth she had two dreams but she didn't want to tell Konan or really anyone of the skipping child. It seemed better just to let it go and wait it out to see if it got anymore detailed.

Sounds of yelling brought her attention to the present time and she listened as Deidara and Sasori argued about art. It was often funny to hear them bicker about it. Sasori preferred puppets while Deidara wanted things to explode. In truth art was anything you wanted it to be but she wouldn't tell them that.

It seemed it would never end but good old Hidan started yelling and sadly was dragged into the fight when both boys said something about Jashin. It went on for another twenty minutes until my new hero came in, "Shut up or I'll rip out your tongues." The boys shut up as Konan continued in more detail in a very low voice that Sol couldn't here.

It worked like a charm and then Konan came to Sol and picked her up after asking if she wanted to go outside. Their hide out had faded lighting in the halls and after a series of hand signs courtesy of Konan they stepped out. The day was foggy Sol realized when her eyes adjusted to the dull but bright light.

"It's raining." Sol said and watched mystified as the droplets fell to the ground. Konan didn't reply as she too watched the rain as she held the handicapped girl in her arms. It seemed like forever they watched before Konan broke the silence, "This is Amegakure, the Land of Rain."

Konan went on to tell that Pain could make it rain but also stop it. It rains every Sunday or when Pain had to leave the village. Pain was like a god and would be one day soon. The conversation was one that didn't need an answer to it, only one to listen and remember. After the conversation ended they resumed watching and Sol couldn't help but feel safe with Konan. It was soon time to go and Sol was sad to have to leave.

Konan had dropped Sol off into her room and could still feel her maternal instincts lingering. Sol may have been months from fifteen but her body has stopped aging at around thirteen due to being frozen and in that ice some bones had contracted, making her smaller so she was only around five feet and one or two inches.

Konan walked into the Leaders office where he sat looking at paperwork with an unfeeling expression to regular people's eyes but Konan had known him long enough and could see he was stressed.

"Konan, I've had an idea."

"What is it?"

"As you know time is almost up." Pain stated, "Are last spy in Konoha will be found out soon and we still need to know the land. I've given it much consideration and I believe we should send new spies but not in the ninja ranks."

"How will we do this?" Konan asked.

"We know someone. We'll send a member or two in disguise on a long term mission to know the area better." Was Pain's reply, "Right now we should be focused on moving and gaining allies…maybe other things also."

"Right." Konan stated as she closed and locked the door from the inside.

Raingirl: -sadistic smile-

Sol: Oh no, someone help US! She's gone mad!

Raingirl: *whistles as she walks over to sit in a chair*

Sol: -nervously shifts from one foot to another- What have you done?

Raingirl: Nothing…ANYWAY! Next chapter we'll be giving out food to our reviewers, if you haven't requested food then you get cookies or maybe I'll spin a wheel and you get stuck with whatever it lands on! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Sol: AND!

Raingirl: Fine fine, also we'll be answering questions if you have any.

Sol: AND!

Raingirl: -cries in corner- I was spelling Itachi's name wrong! T_T BUT! Thanks to the lovely reviewer who told me and I'll try not to make that mistake again!

Sol: Constructive criticism is appreciated as are regular reviews and questions. BUT NO FLAMES! We'll find you and make you watch the Barbie channel!

-Hidan enters-

Sol: Save it Hidan you're to late.

Raingirl: BYE!

Hidan: Review so I CAN TALK DAMN IT!
